Give Them a Brake

When we see them off to the side,
we have to slow our speed.
Out in the open, they cannot hide.
Polite courtesy is what they need.
There are construction workers on our highways.
We can see them out there both nights and days.
The main concern is for their safety.
That is one thing to remember for you and me.
Inspired by another member's poem.
